	11:24am Bob Brainen: ↳ dan @11:24 Interesting
	🥁 ♥ 11:25am (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "St. James Infirmary" by "Hal Waters" A great interpretation.
	♥ 11:25am Doug Schulkind: NYT writer and longtime WFMU listener Rob Walker has written extensively about "St. James Infirmary" and even maintained a blog about the tune: iwentdowntostjamesinfirmary.blogspot.com...

	♥ 11:40am Doug Schulkind: One of my favorites. A wonderful player and a sweet man.
	11:40am Gina Bacon: I loved seeing the Heath brothers back in the day!
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Oh jeez, I was just informed that I conflated "Colpix" and "Colgems." Nina Simone, for example, was on Colpix from the early to mid 60s. Monkees were, of course, on Colgems.
	11:43am Bob Brainen: ↳ Gina Bacon @11:40 Nice!
	🥁 ♥ 11:43am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Tell Me a Bedtime Story" by "Herbie Hancock" In transit, will check in later (and listen in the car). Herbie Hancock will be at NJPAC in September, picked up tix. Hi all!
	🥁 ♥ 11:43am wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Tell Me a Bedtime Story" by "Herbie Hancock" Heath's Kawaida album from '69. A fave.
	♥ 11:43am Soule: ↳ Song: "Tell Me a Bedtime Story" by "Herbie Hancock" Oh, I love this tune!
	11:44am Bob Brainen: ↳ wmfromd @11:43 A great one!
	11:46am dan: ↳ Song: "The Way I Feel" by "Fotheringay" Interesting trivia: After Fotheringay broke up, Jerry Donahue and Pat Donaldson joined Johnny Hallyday's band in the now legendary Johnny Circus shows. The backup singers were Madeline Bell, Nanette Workman (who Hallyday was having an affair with during the tour) and one hit wonder Doris Troy. Amazing how all these musical career paths converged.
	♥ 11:47am Doug Schulkind: Heath's contributions to the work of Yusef Lateef ranks near the top for me. From Richard Scheinin's 2021 interview with Al Heath: Q: When you look back on your life, is there any one experience that you hold most dear? A: Yeah, you know the one thing that I love more than all of those groups? I love Yusef Lateef. He was a serious gentleman and a teacher. I learned a lot from him. And I also enjoyed as much to play with Abdullah Ibrahim. I loved that, too. Those two things were the most important things in my life. Q: Why? A: Well, Yusef because of him being a gentleman and his dedication to Islam and how he treated us and the opportunities he gave us. When I was moving to Sweden and I told him I had to get out of the group, he told me, “Man, you can go ahead to Sweden. You don’t have to get out of the group. You can come back in the summer and play with me.” Because he was in school during the winter, getting his advanced degrees, and in the summer he would travel. He said, “You can come back in the summer and play with me.” And I appreciated that, man. I was in his arranging class at City College, and it taught me a little bit about writing music. I learned some great stuff from Yusef.
	11:48am Bob Brainen: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:47 Wow!
	11:49am Bob Brainen: ↳ dan @11:46 Interesting, I didn't know that chapter of Jerry & Pat. They both got around!
	🥁 ♥ 11:51am wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Smilin' Billy Suite, Part One" by "Heath Brothers" There was a Strata-East comp in the 90's that included this tune.
	♥ 11:51am zzz: ↳ Song: "Smilin' Billy Suite, Part One" by "Heath Brothers" sampled on Nas, “One Love” track. nice!!
	11:52am Bob Brainen: Hey zzz
	♥ 11:53am zzz: morning DJ BB
	11:53am dan: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:49 From an interview with Jerry Donahue, how he and Gerry found themselves with Hallyday. Apparently. Gary Wright and Mick Jones (Foreigner) hung out in the same circles as well. – What kind of music WONDERWHEEL, a precursor to SPOOKY TOOTH, played? Why did you leave the band? It was a rock band that primarily played material written by Gary Wright. Initially it was Gary, myself, Pat Donaldson and Gerry Conway. We got together within weeks of FOTHERINGAY’s demise. Great session guitarist from New York, Hugh McCracken, also joined us when he was in the country. That line-up, minus Hugh, also went into the studio to do an album for French rock hero, Johnny Hallyday, who also had his guitarist, Mick Jones, over with him – we recorded at Olympic Studios in London. Not too long thereafter, Mick and I swapped jobs and Pat and I went to France to join Johnny and his band, doing a further two LPs in that year, 1971. Micky joined WONDERWHEEL, which I believe was his last gig before he co-formed FOREIGNER.
	♥ 11:58am Soule: ↳ Song: "Smilin' Billy Suite, Part One" by "Heath Brothers" "Smilin' Billy" must have referred to Billy Higgins?
	12:03pm dan: ↳ Song: "Green Is The Color" by "Pink Floyd" Pink Floyd in their Cantebury Folk phase.
	🥁 ♥ 12:06pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Green Is The Color" by "Pink Floyd" Soundtrack great. Movie kinda ok.
	12:06pm dan: ↳ wmfromd @12:06 Same thing with Zabriskie Point
	12:22pm dan: Speaking of The Strawbs, I’m waiting to hear when the next John Ford concert at Port Washington Library will take place.
	♥ 12:30pm spodiodi: good afternoon, Bob! show's been sounding great
	12:31pm Bob Brainen: hey spodiodi
	♥ 12:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "All I Need Is You" by "Strawbs [With Sandy Denny]" sandy!
	12:35pm Bob Brainen: Hiya northguineahills
	🥁 ♥ 12:35pm Sem: Lovin' the Strawbs. TY, Bob.
	12:36pm dan: Pieces of 79 and 15 sounds like the chapter in some New Age scribe
	12:39pm dan: Another Day, probably the best Strawbs song of the original iteration
	🥁 ♥ 12:44pm doctorjazz: Hey all! Just got home, been enjoying the Stawbs feature on my drive!
	12:45pm Bob Brainen: Hey doctorjazz
	12:54pm Noel: My copy of Who’s Next looks black but is brown when held to light.
	12:54pm Bob Brainen: Hey Noel, interesting! I'll have to test my copy.
	♥ 12:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Who Knows Where The Times Goes" by "Strawbs [With... my diggery is ensuing....
	🥁 ♥ 12:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Who Knows Where The Times Goes" by "Strawbs [With... Ahhhhhhh....(Heaven)
	🥁 ♥ 12:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Who Knows Where The Times Goes" by "Strawbs [With... Judy Collins did a beautiful cover of this (which is actually how I heard it first).
	12:59pm dan: Another great version of “Who Knows Where The Time Goes” was by Nanci Griffith in her TV special live from the Armadillo in Glasgow.
	♥ 1:01pm John L: ↳ doctorjazz @12:57 Same here. It was on the soundtrack to a 1968 film called "The Subject Was Roses."
	1:04pm Bob Brainen: Hey John L.
	1:05pm Dean: Nanci Griffith does WKWTTG on her Other Voices, Too, with Iain Matthews on back-up vocals. Album opens with a killer "Wall of Death."
	🥁 ♥ 1:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:05 That sounds great, have to check it out!
	1:08pm Bob Brainen: Hey Dean
	🥁 ♥ 1:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sail Away To The Sea" by "Strawbs [With Sandy Den... Gorgeous!
	♥ 1:08pm northguineahills: off to get some air and stretch my legs w/ a wee walk. then, errands, and meeting our welshman abu dhabi based listener to get hammered. (i need it). ciaosers, bob and friends. i have quite a few strawbs rekkids, but none w/ sandy, how did that happen?
	♥ 1:09pm John L: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:04 Good afternoon! Tuned in late, but happy to be here. I got to see Strawbs a few times in my youth, on the tours for Ghosts and Nomadness, and a 1984 show at the Bottom Line. Though Ghosts and Nomadness are far from my favorite Strawbs lps they were still great shows. Pretty Things opened for the Ghosts show. I knew nothing about them at the time so I didn't pay attention; silly boy.
	🥁 ♥ 1:11pm Sem: ↳ northguineahills @1:08 Seeya later, ngh!
	🥁 ♥ 1:17pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Stay Awhile With Me" by "Strawbs [With Sandy Denny]" One of Denny's most powerful performances.
	1:23pm dan: Strawbs “Tell Me What You See” is them doing their own take on Menuhin and Shankar’s East Meets West series.
	1:24pm Dean: The Venn diagram of "Til The Sun Comes Shining Through" and contemporaneous Genesis is nearly a complete overlap of circles.
	1:35pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @1:24 Like what songs?
	🥁 ♥ 1:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mamanita" by "Jelly Roll Morton" Great example of Jelly Roll's "Latn tinge"!
	1:38pm Dean: A number of tracks on From Genesis to Revelation (1969) and some from Trespass (same year as Dragonfly), but I think the one that came to mind was "Stagnation" off the later album.
	1:42pm Dean: Even the title, "Til The Sun Comes Shining Through," brings to mind early Genesis: "Where The Sour Turns to Sweet," "Silent Sun," "Visions of Angels"...
	🥁 ♥ 1:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Crazy Rhythm" by "Coleman Hawkins & His All Stars" This is from the recordings of US jazz players with Django Reinhardt and European players. Benny Carter is great here. The Band: Alto Saxophone – André Ekyan, Bennie Carter* Bass – D'Hellemmes* Drums – Tommy Benford Guitar – Django Reinhardt Piano – Stephane Grappelly* Tenor Saxophone – Alix Combell*, Coleman Hawkins
	♥ 1:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Dutchess County Jail" by "Terry Adams & Steve Fer... upstate ballads!
	🥁 ♥ 1:47pm doctorjazz: Got to hear 2 senior statesman musicians this past week-Pat Metheny and Jorma Kaukonen. (both killer guitar players, such different styles)
	1:47pm Dean: Jorma...there's a subject for an hour!
	1:48pm Dean: Or Ma Rainey.
	🥁 ♥ 1:53pm ∫ydniuß: Thanks Bob! 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

From Richard Scheinin's 2021 interview with Al Heath: Q: When you look back on your life, is there any one experience that you hold most dear? A: Yeah, you know the one thing that I love more than all of those groups? I love Yusef Lateef. He was a serious gentleman and a teacher. I learned a lot from him. And I also enjoyed as much to play with Abdullah Ibrahim. I loved that, too. Those two things were the most important things in my life. Q: Why? A: Well, Yusef because of him being a gentleman and his dedication to Islam and how he treated us and the opportunities he gave us. When I was moving to Sweden and I told him I had to get out of the group, he told me, “Man, you can go ahead to Sweden. You don’t have to get out of the group. You can come back in the summer and play with me.” Because he was in school during the winter, getting his advanced degrees, and in the summer he would travel. He said, “You can come back in the summer and play with me.” And I appreciated that, man. I was in his arranging class at City College, and it taught me a little bit about writing music. I learned some great stuff from Yusef.
	11:48am Bob Brainen: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:47 Wow!
	11:49am Bob Brainen: ↳ dan @11:46 Interesting, I didn't know that chapter of Jerry & Pat. They both got around!
	🥁 ♥ 11:51am wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Smilin' Billy Suite, Part One" by "Heath Brothers" There was a Strata-East comp in the 90's that included this tune.
	♥ 11:51am zzz: ↳ Song: "Smilin' Billy Suite, Part One" by "Heath Brothers" sampled on Nas, “One Love” track. nice!!
	11:52am Bob Brainen: Hey zzz
	♥ 11:53am zzz: morning DJ BB
	11:53am dan: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:49 From an interview with Jerry Donahue, how he and Gerry found themselves with Hallyday. Apparently. Gary Wright and Mick Jones (Foreigner) hung out in the same circles as well. – What kind of music WONDERWHEEL, a precursor to SPOOKY TOOTH, played? Why did you leave the band? It was a rock band that primarily played material written by Gary Wright. Initially it was Gary, myself, Pat Donaldson and Gerry Conway. We got together within weeks of FOTHERINGAY’s demise. Great session guitarist from New York, Hugh McCracken, also joined us when he was in the country. That line-up, minus Hugh, also went into the studio to do an album for French rock hero, Johnny Hallyday, who also had his guitarist, Mick Jones, over with him – we recorded at Olympic Studios in London. Not too long thereafter, Mick and I swapped jobs and Pat and I went to France to join Johnny and his band, doing a further two LPs in that year, 1971. Micky joined WONDERWHEEL, which I believe was his last gig before he co-formed FOREIGNER.
	♥ 11:58am Soule: ↳ Song: "Smilin' Billy Suite, Part One" by "Heath Brothers" "Smilin' Billy" must have referred to Billy Higgins?
	12:03pm dan: ↳ Song: "Green Is The Color" by "Pink Floyd" Pink Floyd in their Cantebury Folk phase.
	🥁 ♥ 12:06pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Green Is The Color" by "Pink Floyd" Soundtrack great. Movie kinda ok.
	12:06pm dan: ↳ wmfromd @12:06 Same thing with Zabriskie Point
	12:22pm dan: Speaking of The Strawbs, I’m waiting to hear when the next John Ford concert at Port Washington Library will take place.
	♥ 12:30pm spodiodi: good afternoon, Bob! show's been sounding great

	12:35pm Bob Brainen: Hiya northguineahills
	🥁 ♥ 12:35pm Sem: Lovin' the Strawbs. TY, Bob.
	12:36pm dan: Pieces of 79 and 15 sounds like the chapter in some New Age scribe
	12:39pm dan: Another Day, probably the best Strawbs song of the original iteration
	🥁 ♥ 12:44pm doctorjazz: Hey all! Just got home, been enjoying the Stawbs feature on my drive!
	12:45pm Bob Brainen: Hey doctorjazz
	12:54pm Noel: My copy of Who’s Next looks black but is brown when held to light.
	12:54pm Bob Brainen: Hey Noel, interesting! I'll have to test my copy.

	🥁 ♥ 12:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Who Knows Where The Times Goes" by "Strawbs [With... Ahhhhhhh....(Heaven)
	🥁 ♥ 12:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Who Knows Where The Times Goes" by "Strawbs [With... Judy Collins did a beautiful cover of this (which is actually how I heard it first).
	12:59pm dan: Another great version of “Who Knows Where The Time Goes” was by Nanci Griffith in her TV special live from the Armadillo in Glasgow.
	♥ 1:01pm John L: ↳ doctorjazz @12:57 Same here. It was on the soundtrack to a 1968 film called "The Subject Was Roses."
	1:04pm Bob Brainen: Hey John L.
	1:05pm Dean: Nanci Griffith does WKWTTG on her Other Voices, Too, with Iain Matthews on back-up vocals. Album opens with a killer "Wall of Death."
	🥁 ♥ 1:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:05 That sounds great, have to check it out!
	1:08pm Bob Brainen: Hey Dean
	🥁 ♥ 1:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sail Away To The Sea" by "Strawbs [With Sandy Den... Gorgeous!
	♥ 1:08pm northguineahills: off to get some air and stretch my legs w/ a wee walk. then, errands, and meeting our welshman abu dhabi based listener to get hammered. (i need it). ciaosers, bob and friends. i have quite a few strawbs rekkids, but none w/ sandy, how did that happen?
	♥ 1:09pm John L: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:04 Good afternoon! Tuned in late, but happy to be here. I got to see Strawbs a few times in my youth, on the tours for Ghosts and Nomadness, and a 1984 show at the Bottom Line. Though Ghosts and Nomadness are far from my favorite Strawbs lps they were still great shows. Pretty Things opened for the Ghosts show. I knew nothing about them at the time so I didn't pay attention; silly boy.
	🥁 ♥ 1:11pm Sem: ↳ northguineahills @1:08 Seeya later, ngh!
	🥁 ♥ 1:17pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Stay Awhile With Me" by "Strawbs [With Sandy Denny]" One of Denny's most powerful performances.
	1:23pm dan: Strawbs “Tell Me What You See” is them doing their own take on Menuhin and Shankar’s East Meets West series.
	1:24pm Dean: The Venn diagram of "Til The Sun Comes Shining Through" and contemporaneous Genesis is nearly a complete overlap of circles.
	1:35pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @1:24 Like what songs?
	🥁 ♥ 1:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mamanita" by "Jelly Roll Morton" Great example of Jelly Roll's "Latn tinge"!
	1:38pm Dean: A number of tracks on From Genesis to Revelation (1969) and some from Trespass (same year as Dragonfly), but I think the one that came to mind was "Stagnation" off the later album.
	1:42pm Dean: Even the title, "Til The Sun Comes Shining Through," brings to mind early Genesis: "Where The Sour Turns to Sweet," "Silent Sun," "Visions of Angels"...
	🥁 ♥ 1:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Crazy Rhythm" by "Coleman Hawkins & His All Stars" This is from the recordings of US jazz players with Django Reinhardt and European players. Benny Carter is great here. The Band: Alto Saxophone – André Ekyan, Bennie Carter* Bass – D'Hellemmes* Drums – Tommy Benford Guitar – Django Reinhardt Piano – Stephane Grappelly* Tenor Saxophone – Alix Combell*, Coleman Hawkins
	♥ 1:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Dutchess County Jail" by "Terry Adams & Steve Fer... upstate ballads!
